error getting plan ids for project: %v

Error message

error getting plan ids for project: %v

What it means

GetPlanIdsForProject selects all plan ids for a project via Conn.Select into a []string. Any query or scan failure (DB unavailable, result rows that don't fit the destination) is wrapped with this message and returned with a nil slice.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped inner error for the DB root cause
2. Verify connectivity and that plans.project_id exists as a column/index
3. Handle the empty-result case in callers to distinguish 'no plans' from this error

if projectId == "" {
    return errors.New("projectId is required")
}

ids, err := GetPlanIdsForProject(projectId)
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("could not list plans: %w", err)
}
// ids may be empty when the project has no plans — handle separately

When it happens

Trigger: Conn.Select on `SELECT id FROM plans WHERE project_id = $1` errors — DB connectivity failure or scan error into the ids slice.

Common situations: Database outages, empty-but-valid results are fine (nil vs empty confusion is upstream), schema drift on the plans table breaking the scan.

Understand the failure class

Background: Database query failed: Internal Server Error 500s wrapping SQL, Prisma, and connection failures — what to check first — this error's family across 16 libraries.
